OECD Progress on Manufactured Nanomaterials and Advanced Materials

OECD progress on manufactured nanomaterials and advanced materials The latest OECD Chemicals and Biosafety Progress Report (June–October 2025) highlights the work of the Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN). Current priorities include revising guidance for nano-objects, developing workplace exposure metrics, and advancing case studies on 2D materials such as graphene and MXenes. Corporate members can access our detailed WPMN 2025 report prepared earlier this year.
